Technically, it's DIY Lanterns and we are using solar powered tops, but you can also put a battery operated tealight in it or if you don't put the top on you could use a candle. If you use red, white and blue glitter like we did, it's perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. Make it a family crafting project!

There was rain in the forecast, so this was a big bummer considering it was halfway down. Luckily, I went to google and found a trick in the forums.

There’s many things you can do to deter the little vermin, bug spray and citronella candles, but there’s something you can make that is inexpensive and will last two weeks at a time.

I did a video and wanted to see if it actually worked. Rust is probably one of the most frustrating things that happens to your vehicle, because once it's there it never goes away.

There are a few red Christmas balls from my childhood, a few handmade reindeer ornaments that my daughter and I made, a few snowflakes that my Aunt crocheted and the shell casing Santas in the picture above. I was feeling like I needed to put more things on the tree until my husband pointed out that everything on the tree had special meaning. Especially the Santas made out of shell casings.

I had gotten the materials to make cute little reindeer out of wine corks for our craft project. We found that the grapevine sticks used for the antlers and legs of the reindeer were hard to get into the cork, so we pre-made holes to make it easier for the video. I wasn't paying attention and made an epic mistake that made me lose it and I just couldn't recover.

I expected to dedicate my entire Sunday to crafting but these little cuties only took a couple hours to make and were super easy. If you are in looking for craft ideas for a group setting, these would work like a charm.

We took the chance to show Ian how to do a simple vehicle repair such as this. It wasn't simple enough.

A common problem with these F-150's is paint peeling and flaking off around the gas cap. A little bit of surface rust has formed and I'm doing my best to stop it. So I found this Loctite Extend Rust Converter. Let's see how it works.

They would often do a group art project that would allow them to make something they could wear to the parade. This year you could do a whole ensemble with two DIY ideas! It's easy, fun and you and your friends can match at your 4th of July celebration.

After dinner, the kids and took five minutes to whip up some easy to make washcloth bunnies to be used as hostess gifts for friends and family that will be making our Easter dinner on Sunday. Here are the instructions and our video (try not to laugh, I don't do DIY craft videos very often....or ever)!

It's not too soon to be thinking about Easter, April 20, it comes early this year. What will you do to make coloring eggs different, more challenging or eggs-citing? Ok, overused play on words, sorry. How about tie-dyeing them? It will be a little more work and could potentially be a bit more messy, but think of the memories you'll be making with your family!
